Here's a saved game with two terraformers left to move in the turn. After that the game locks up, no crash it just frezzes completly. Is this because of the hardware or a general problem?

diatribe,

I tried it. Same problem. No crash. Just freeze. But I am able to CAD and exit to the desktop, so it didn't lock me out of the system entirely--just the game.

Please send this to Firaxis if they don't get back to you.

Could we be on the brink of a traceable problem?

I have a similar problem with a game that freezes every time at the same location. I am playing PK on talent level.

I downloaded the Morganite game from Diatribe & reproduced it... but cannot find a fix for either game.

Do you have a solution to Diatribe's problem yet?

What does Firaxis say?

I'm using PII-233, 128mb Ram, plenty of HD space. I switched to 8mb Matrox Millenium AGP card the day before the "freeze", but I believe I have the latest drivers & d=DirectX 6.1
